Notes
Birth
Macarthur (prev. Eumeralla), a rural township in western Victoria, is about midway between Hamilton and Port Fairy.The town is situated on the Eumeralla River, where the Eumeralla pastoral run (1842) was settled. A track was made between Port Fairy and Hamilton and a settlement formed where it crossed the river at a convenient fording place. It was named after Sir Edward Macarthur, administrator of Victoria in 1856, between the governorships of Hotham and Barkly.
The Eumeralla Inn was opened in 1852, or some time before. The land around the fording place had fertile soil from the Mount Eccles volcanic source and it was attractive to small farm-holders during the 1860s. A Presbyterian school was opened in 1865.
By the end of the 1860s Macarthur had a population of about 200 people.
